New build mastic in Innermessan, done properly
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. Common call-outs are for smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and second-fix sealing on new plots, on windows & doors, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites.
Around smaller Scottish places like Innermessan, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dumfries and Galloway.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
New build mastic in Innermessan: local notes
Innermessan is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out.
If you’ve bought a new home near Stranraer station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
We do not publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you need new build mastic in Innermessan?
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and the sealant may split.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
In and around Innermessan, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Where are you based?

Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
That depends on the joint. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots from start to finish. Outdoor work around Innermessan depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us if parking is tricky
